Both of them did not speak as they continued looking at each other.

Feixiang Lin was feeling rather complicated as he stared at Dai Li. Dai Li did not look away, watching him, expecting him to say something. It was as if time was frozen, yet the atmosphere was not an awkward one.

Gradually, Feixiang Lin's facial expression began to change, as if he had been in a difficult emotional struggle. After a long while, he sighed and said, ”I think you have probably realized that my legs are almost wasted, and that I am a useless man now, haven't you?”

Dai Li did not reply. He thought the ”wasted” and ”useless” sounded a bit too harsh. He could not believe that Feixiang Lin would even use them to describe himself.

”Champion? I cannot be a champion anymore. I can never be a champion in this life. How could a cripple like me compete for a championship?” Feixiang Lin looked very indifferent and numb, as if he had already gotten used to being a slave who was incapable of accomplishing anything.

Dai Li pointed to the spot next to him and asked him to sit down. He said, ”What on earth is happening? Would you mind telling me about it in detail?”

”There is nothing else to say. You already know everything!” Feixiang Lin said.

”Others are just spreading fake rumors. What I have heard from them may not be completely true. I think the only truth lies with you. You must have something that has been troubling you!” Dai Li asked.

Dai Li sat next to Feixiang Lin. Feixiang Lin sighed and said, ”Well, I am not troubled by anything, and things are not that complicated either. I was injured and had a torn Achilles tendon surgery, but I have not recovered yet, which means I can never be as good as I was.”

”So you want to give up? You are still young! You are in the prime of your athletic career. Even if you have been badly injured, you can still recover and have the ability to break the world record.”

According to the statistics, an athlete of a S-rank had the potential and ability to break world records. Because Feixiang Lin was a S-rank athlete, he would definitely be able to achieve that again.

”I have already heard what you are saying hundreds of time. Yes, I am still young. I should have fun while I am still young! What can I get out of working hard in my training? Getting injured again, falling down again, lying on the bed in the cold surgery room and feeling terrified of the unforeseeable future? I think it would be better if I shot more commercials and made more money before I get old. I will not need to worry about the rest of my life anymore!” Feixiang Lin got a bit excited.

The next second calmed down again. His hands drooped sadly as,he said: ”Besides, I can never be as good as I was before.”

Dai Li waited a few seconds so Feixiang Lin could gather himself, then said, ”Are we talking about the difficulty of your surgery or your recovery?”

”I do not know. I really do not know.” Feixiang Lin shook his head. ”Even the doctor cannot give me an answer. They just say that the surgery has been successful, but I do not feel like it has been. I am sure that I am not as agile as before. My legs react slowly now, and more importantly, my legs always hurt. It is as if I am constantly being stung or burned, especially when I land on the ground. I have a strange feeling that these legs are not even mine.”
